Visitation

Before visiting Morgan County Correctional Complex, you need to complete a Tennessee Visitor Application (CR‑2152) and get it approved. The form typically requires a current photo and your full street address. No visitor gets in without an approved application, though immediate family of newly committed inmates can be added temporarily for up to 60 days. Every visitor, regardless of age, must have an approved application on file. The facility may limit approvals to immediate family plus up to eight additional adults. If a child under 18 will visit without their custodial parent, you'll need a completed, notarized Parental Consent/Release for Minor's Visitation Form. Once approved, visitors are entered into the visitor system and logbook, and visits are scheduled through the facility's process.

Communication

Morgan County Correctional Complex follows Tennessee's standard approach to inmate communication: people in custody place outbound calls, and the facility doesn't accept inbound calls from family or friends. For true emergencies, contact is typically routed through facility staff, such as the chaplain. To receive calls, your number must be on the inmate's approved phone list. Inmates can have up to ten numbers and must request any changes through their unit team. Phone calls, video visits, and messaging are handled through a third-party vendor. You'll need to create an account with that vendor and add funds through their website, app, or an on-site kiosk before services work. Calls and messages are generally monitored and recorded, and vendor features vary by facility.
